Here in the U.S., it’s Mother’s Day. But I think it’s safe to say that mother energy is revered everywhere in the world, so I’d like to extend a Happy Mother’s day to you wherever you are.

Whether you’re taking time today to honor your mother or yourself as a mother — or both — please consider doing a little inner work. With so much energy being focused on mothering and the collective heart chakra, it’s a great day to create some wholeness around your relationship with your mother, so I’ve created a powerful meditation for you in the video above.

There are two general ways you can approach mother healing.

The first way is the most obvious – work with your actual mother either in a literal sense or through meditations. I like meditative work because you can do it whether your mother is alive or has passed away, and whether she’s cooperative or not.

One of my favorite meditative techniques is Ho‘Oponopono, a Hawaiian healing approach that revolves around saying these four powerful statements:

“I’m sorry.”

“Please forgive me.”

“Thank you.”

“I love you.”

These simple statements are mind-blowingly powerful . In my work with my life coach clients, I find that these simple phrases are often the hardest ones for us to say, because they carry so much energy. But that’s why Ho’Oponopono is so transformational! Say these words in an honest and heartfelt way and change your relationship with your mother – or anyone else with whom you want to have a more clear, whole relationship.

Here’s a Ho’Oponopono meditation I created that I think works really well.

The other powerful way to do mother healing is to do Inner Mother/Inner Child meditative practices. Your Inner Mother is the part of you that developed from experiencing the way your mother or caregivers interacted with you when you were very young and impressionable. If you listen closely within, you may hear this part of you as a voice – one that is either supportive or critical depending on what was modeled for you when you were younger, or how much work inner work you’ve done.

Today, I created a meditation for you that will help you develop a strong, positive relationship between your inner child and inner mother. It’s in the video above. The more you listen (I recommend daily before bed for a month), the stronger your Inner Child/Inner Mother relationship will be. And the cool thing is this: do this work regularly and you will see your relationship with your biological mother improve too. It’s amazing how inner work always shows up in our external world.

I hope it also boosts your self-love and helps to make you feel more empowered in everything you do.
